3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, divided use
2 ½ tsp. active dry yeast
1 T. granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 ¼ cups warm water (110F)
1 T. canola oil
1 cup freshly shredded Tillamook Cheddar Cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
Olive oil for brushing

Butter (or spray) a baking sheet; set aside. Combine half of the flour with yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl; add warm water (110F) and oil; beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and as much of the remaining flour as needed to make a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times or until smooth and elastic. Divide dough into fourths; shape each portion into a ball then divide each ball into 10 portions. Shape each portion into a 6-inch stick. Brush 1 stick with water and twist it with another stick, pressing at the top and the bottom. Arrange the twists on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining sticks. Place twists 2-inches apart on baking sheet. Brush the twists with olive oil and sprinkle cheese on top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 50 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
